Question

I’m finding myself using it each time before a commit. Is it right? If so, it should be the same command…

Answer 1

There’s git commit -a which is like git add -u — it adds all modified files, but it does not add untracked files, in contrast to git add ., which adds both tracked and untracked files (not including deletions), provided that they contain modifications.

See Difference between "git add -A" and "git add ."

But yes, in most workflows, you will either git add before you git commit, or you will mostly use git commit -a.
